AMERICAN LE MANS SERIES
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that the mark “AMERICAN LE MANS SERIES” was registered on the Principal Register on October 29, 2002, but it was cancelled on May 12, 2023 because the registrant, AUTOMOBILE CLUB DE L'OUEST, A.C.O., did not file a Section 8 declaration. The cancelled registration covered a wide range of goods and services, including tableware, electrical and scientific apparatus, precious‑metal jewelry and watches, paper goods, clothing, sporting articles, educational and entertainment services, and many more. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the areas of automotive racing, sporting events, and related merchandise and services, since those are the most specific goods and services listed. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording; it only shows the cancelled scope. No enforcement activity—such as oppositions or court actions—is visible in the supplied history. The practical risk for someone considering a similar name is that the cancelled mark still signals a prior claim in automotive racing and related fields, so caution is advised.
